IKEA creates Banksy style graffiti in Milan

IKEA has been tagging it's own ads with Banksy style graffiti in Milan as part of the IKEA 'People bring Design to Life' current campaign. Stencilled art in the style that Banksy made famous was created and dogs, ballerinas, children and more were added as 'graffiti' to both IKEA posters and Milan subway walls, steps and turnstiles.
